When you have sleep apnea, this causes you to stop breathing in the night and can impact your daily life. Our team wants to offer treatment for your sleep apnea, so you can rest easier and enjoy a better quality of life. Which is why our experts at our Tampa, FL, sleep center offer a comfortable and effective option for treating the disorder, one that doesn’t rely on a CPAP machine!
The Impact of Sleep Apnea
With sleep apnea, the collapse of soft tissues stops breathing briefly multiple times a night. You may not remember this happening, but it could interrupt your REM sleep multiple times a night. This leaves you feeling exhausted and moody during the day and could even impact your memory and ability to concentrate. Over time, this could also strain your immune system to make more frequent illness possible. You could also experience strain on your cardiovascular system, so the risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and heart attack are much higher. Don’t let this impact your quality of life and overall health; we can help!
Treatment with an Oral Appliance
If you experience chronic snoring, daytime drowsiness, and other symptoms, then reach out to our team right away. We will ask you about possible symptoms and risk factors, and we may offer an at-home sleep test to provide a diagnosis with accuracy and precision. If you have sleep apnea, then our team may recommend an oral appliance. The device will be custom-made based on detailed digital images and measurements we take of your smile. When complete, this device will be worn like a mouthguard. Used at night, this will help reposition the jaw and tongue to keep airways open and free of obstruction. You wake up feeling more refreshed and alert, and the device is comfortable and easy to use and clean.
Benefits for Your Overall Health
When you treat the disorder, this can help you wake up feeling more alert. Your work performance can improve, as can your ability to interact with others at work and home. Your immune system can strengthen, and your cardiovascular system can remain healthy and strong too. If you have any questions about how we treat issues like poor sleep with a custom oral appliance, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you rest easy and enjoy a better quality of life!
